Environmental Impact Created by Remote Working
Remote working is the new norm of working. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, lots of people have been working remotely for almost a whole year so far. Based on that, we are in a position to highlight all the prominent benefits that come along with remote working. One of the most outstanding benefits that we can see in remote working is the environmental impact created by it. We can clearly see that remote working is beneficial for the environment that we live in.
How remote working can be beneficial to the planet we live in?
When the entire world went into lockdown mode back in March 2020, we could see some immediate changes happening to the environment. For example, a research team from Colombia University stated that carbon monoxide release was reduced by around 50% when compared to the previous year, and the release of carbon dioxide above New York was reduced by around 10% as well.
Within China, the CO2 emissions reduced by around 25% because of the lockdowns. China is the biggest polluter of the environment. The lockdowns in China were able to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide by around 200 million tons. This is a massive positive impact created by lockdowns.
The effects of lockdowns are still visible up to a great extent because of remote working. Hence, we are capable of reducing environmental pollution and the release of harmful gases into the environment. This is something that we all can be proud about. That’s because we are contributing individually towards the betterment of the plant that we live in.
Human Impact Created by Remote Working
It is also important to take a look at the human impact created by remote working. People usually feel happy when they are asked to work from home. This is helping them to live in an eco-friendly life as well. People are aware of the environmental pollution that they create with daily commute. However, they still had no choice than to get to the workplace. This would not be a problem anymore. That’s because people now have the opportunity to work remotely and reduce the carbon footprint and the environmental impact that they create.
On top of that, people are motivated because they now have the opportunity to remain closer to their loved family members. It is providing them with a better work-life balance. On the other hand, it is also creating a flexible work culture as well.
Getting the Maximum Contribution of Employees With Remote Working
Remote working is beneficial for the environment, as well as for employees’ mental health. With a better work-life balance, employees are more focus on their work, hence, it leads to an increase in productivity.
Together, we are capable of reducing environmental pollution and the release of harmful gases into the environment. Our future is in our hands: consider renting a virtual office at Nuage B and contribute to the preservation of the environment. Contact us today!
